* "Can't say until ... "

I'm kind of excited for it because of the soundtrack and some of the story. HOWEVER, I'm typically not a very big fan of biopics. Even if the other 3 guys from Queen had their hand in the creation of this movie, I"m still not sold on that I'll like it. I'd like to see it in the theater for the soundtrack, but haven't quite decided if I'll do that or wait until it's out on DVD and then just rent it.

I'm hopeful that it will, especially with the all of the living members involved with it.
The only thing I know for sure is that the trailers have me really pumped about seeing it.

As I've mentioned many times before, I'm not a fan of biopics. Will it capture the greatness of Queen? Well, the music speaks for itself, so in a sense I'm sure it will. However, as far as telling the story of the band, beyond the songs most people already know, I don't know how compelling it will be - the reviews are very mixed and apart from the music, the trailer did not impress me much.

Most artists absolutely brimming with well worthwhile entertainment value such as Freddy Mercury have usually had quite fascinating personal and professional histories and with the surviving members of Queen contributing to this much anticipated movie project release,I'm certain it won't disappoint.In fact,it has potential to be even better than expected...……….

Good biopic movie, although, not without a flaws; they didn't told about the participating of Brian May in Freddie's acquaintance with Mary; the whole situation with firing of John Reid was discribed wrong; besides, they didn't showed nothing about Roger's drug addiction - the main reason of their problems on the border of 70-80's. And the words "we didn't play together for a long time" before Live Aid - it's more, than a strange; it was fair about Led Zeppelin and Status Quo, but Queen was in great concert form right after "The Works Tour" (which ended two months before festival, and it was 48 live-shows!).
In general - not bad. Possibly, I'll watch it one more time.

P.S. For now I want a biopic about Black Sabbath.
